Job description

We are looking for PCB Design Engineer to develop new PCB designs and updating existing designs. Your prime responsibility includes but not limited to: CAD designs, execution planning, 1st level debug for issue isolation and reporting.

Responsibilities

• Understanding the requirements of the Design team and Mechanical Team and implement them in the PCB Layout.
• Complete PCB Design from scratch to Gerber review and release, ensuring standards are met.
• Interacting with Fabrication and Assembly house for PCB Fab and assembly status.
• Involved in PCB layout review with customers and with PCB manufacturers.
• DDR and non-DDR study with different combination of DR (trace width/spacing/length), different total layer allow, different placement or location on package/board, etc.
• PCH study with different combination of DR (trace width/spacing/length), different total layer allow, different placement or location on package/board, etc.
• Misc. CAD request (modifying/swapping traces, relocate/adding component, etc.)
• Ad-hoc quick task/study
• BOM creation/modification, create schematic symbol, create footprint, etc.
• Actual routing of DDR, non-DDR traces according to one set of DR and identified layer.
• Full product design including all/partial interfaces assignment as well as power assignment according to schematic that provided. Might include the component placement and constraint setting as well as other board design related request.
• Test vehicle board design (e.g. assembly test vehicle, SI/PD measurement board, Impedance board, etc.)
• Board placement study with component (single sided or double sided, different shape, different component/part solution, etc.)

PCB Design Required Skills

• High speed PCB Design using Cadence Allegro PCB Editor,
• Expertise in Net, Pin pair and combination-net (Xnets) length matching
• Expertise in CAM setup and Gerber generation
• Accustomed to designing PCB's with a high awareness of “Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Test” requirements
• Expertise in Edge-Coupled and Broadside-Coupled Differential pairs and Designed impedance
• Expertise in using Through–Hole, Blind, Buried, Micro & Power vias in PCB.
• Good command on critical signal routing, cross talks, EMI, EMC, Clock signal, Mixed Signal Routings and Power plane distribution.
• Experience in preparation of Fabrication and Assembly Drawings
• Advanced knowledge of constraints and use of the constraint manager
• Experience in documentation like PCB Guidelines, Processes, Checklists and Training materials.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• At least have a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience
